Food Service in Massachusetts 



Rural Elementary Schools 



« 



By Esther Davies 



Knowledge of the amount and kinds of food service available to the 

 pupils in the elementary schools is a necessary basis for further study of 

 the conditions affecting the health of children from six to sixteen years 

 of age. Since such health studies are contemplated for certain districts of 

 rural Massachusetts, and because information rega^rding the present prac- 

 tices of the schools in fok>d service was not available, the survey here re- 

 ported was made during the years 1927-1928 and 1928-1929.
